Arsenal are still without Theo Walcott, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for their weekend clash with West Brom but full back Hector Bellerin is fit again.

Both Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain were injury victims in the Gunners' 3-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in the Capital One Cup with respective calf and hamstring problems.

Manager Arsene Wenger predicted the duo would be available again following the November international break but the England internationals will not be considered for selection for the visit to the Hawthorns, while Ramsey is also still recovering from a hamstring problem having not played since the 2-0 win over Bayern Munich on 20 October.

Spanish defender Bellerin has been out since the 3-0 win over Swansea City on 31 October with a groin injury but could make his return on Saturday.

"There are of course some longer term injuries. Walcott is still one or two weeks away and then we have Welbeck, Rosicky and Wilshere coming later."

Joel Campbell is likely to be given another chance in the first time on the right of attack in the absence of Ramsey and Oxlade-Chamberlain, although 19-year-old Alex Iwobi could also be in contention.

Wilshere and Welbeck are not expected to return until the festive period at the earliest having both undergone surgery this season. Mikel Arteta however did return to the first team squad prior to the international break.

The Gunners are level on points with Manchester City at the summit of the Premier League but can move top - if only for a few hours - on Saturday with Manuel Pellegrini's side not kicking off against Liverpool until later in the evening.
